next song previous song Camel: Camel (25th Anniversary Compilation) Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: The Collection Camel: Rain Dances Highways Of The Sun
(Latimer/Bardens)
We are sailing in a ship that's got no sails
We are riding on a train right off the rails
We are in an old sedan that's lost a wheel
But it makes no difference to the way we feel

Chorus :
  It's been a long time - seems like a lifetime
  To be where we are
  Take a little tumble, fall and maybe stumble
  Now we've gone so far

All along the highways of the sun

No one knows how far it is we have to go
Because every step we take reveals some more
But we'll keep right on as far as the eye can see
Over there where landman scares appear to be

Chorus

Crusing down the highways of the sun

Chorus

All along the highways of the sun
next song previous song Camel: Coming Of Age Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: Echoes - The Retrospective Camel: I Can See Your House From Here Hymn To Her
(Latimer/Schelhaas)
Look to the mirror
I can tell no lies
Time drawing nearer
Still I'm all alone
You are the giver
Me, I never try
Now we're together
Still I'm all alone

Please can you tell me
When you're by my side
And when my eyes see
Will I wonder why
If you are with me
I can only try
To find the answer
In the words that ask the question

Why don't we know
And why don't it show
I wanna find out
Try let it all out

Why don't we know
And why don't it show
I wanna find out
Why, why
next song previous song Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: I Can See Your House From Here Neon Magic
(Latimer/Schelhaas/Viv McAuliffe)
Neon magic, a playground for the noise
Got the boys feeling tough, acting rough
Looking for trouble ?
I better mind your tongue
Having fun much too much
Racing cars, hit and run

They try their hardest
To stand out in the crowd, talking loud
Neon girls carrousels
Show off their curlers
Bought some love in vain
That's their game, I keep cool
Out of school, go insane
next song previous song Camel: Camel (25th Anniversary Compilation) Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: Echoes - The Retrospective Camel: The Single Factor You Are The One
(Latimer)
When I'm on my own and out of my mind
I realise how I've grown, and changed my old line

Learning how to give and not be afraid,
Of the place where I live and mistakes I have made

Chorus :
  You are the one changing my life.
  You are the one making it right.
  You are the one warming my nights -
  You are the one.
  You are the one giving me all.
  You are the one opening doors.
  You are the one hearing my call -
  You are the one.

Looking 'round I can see you are still here
Not in sight but in me your being appears.

Chorus     (x2)

In reply to your request, please find...
I hereby protest.
To the ways and means you use
You know... I cannot refuse.

So I'll take this vow of Loyalty.
Fight for the right,
You have said,
To be free.

When this time has run its course,
I must... live without remorse.
For the deeds I'm bound to do,
I know... it's all the same to you.

But I won't forget the memory...
Taking a life,
For a life...
To be free.

(Latimer/Hoover)
Tell me no lies, has peace arrived...
Or, is this some kind of joke ?

What a surprise, you don't realise...
There's some things you don't own.

Can you disguise, can you simplify...
This change you put me through ?

Can you revive, and will I survive...
This life you've brought me to ?

Can you disguise, can you simplify...
This change you put me through ?

Tell me no lies, has peace arrived...
Or, is this some kind of joke ?

next song previous song Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: The Single Factor A Heart's Desire
(Latimer/Hoover)
The light is fading
The cause invading
All the hopes that you were building
On tomorrow
Now you must go.

So stretch your wings,
As nature sings
Her farewell lullabye to soothe you
Through the changes
When you must go.

The gift is knowing
Your strength in going
When the time has gone beyond
Your heart's desire,
And you must go.

next song previous song Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: The Single Factor Heroes
(Latimer/Hoover)
Image of mine are you just a myth ?
Aiming for the stars and a need to exist
Singing your life to its final bar,
Staging all the scenes to avoid who you are.

Idol of mine will you lead me on ?
Build for me the dreams that I'm longing to own.
make me secure - be my fallacy.
You are all my world if for only today.

And live for evermore...

Chorus :
  Heroes I call for you!
  Legend to feed my heart and soul.
  Heroes I cry for you!
  Legend will bleed your heart of soul.

Chorus     (x2)
next song previous song Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: I Can See Your House From Here Who We Are
(Latimer)
Hotel rooms, sleeping loosely
In this strange life I lead
Occasional friends, likewise lovers
Never wanting what I need

If you could be, here close to me
I know - Oh

Chorus :
  Love, we were meant for each other
  We will love one another
  And it won't really matter at all
  Who we are

Wake-up calls in the morning
The empty night fades away
You're still there, I'm still thinking
Words I always meant to say

If you could be, here we could see
I know - Oh

Chorus     (x3)

Who we are...
next song previous song Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: The Single Factor Manic
(Latimer/Hoover)
One day I'm up next day I'm down,
I run from dusk to dawn.
The paranoia seizes me
The nightmares carry on.

I'm looking on the bright side
You're looking on the wrong side
You really don't know which side
A devious dream in my mind.

But there is no way out and yes
The dye is casting thin
Between the line and razor edge
They crystalise the end.

I'm looking on the dark side
You're looking on the outside
You'll never know what's inside
A face to erase what you find

I know what I'm doing
I'm feeling so fine now
Sorry I worried you.
Thumbs up truly,
I'm okay I though today
I haven't had a drink for, say,
An age, and yes I'm feeling fit
A day in which I'm never sick
With both ends on the candle lit.

There is no way out and
I can never be my friend.
The enemy I fear is me,
So where does it all end...
next song previous song Camel: Camel (25th Anniversary Compilation) Camel: On The Road 1982 Camel: Pressure Points - Live In Concert Camel: I Can See Your House From Here Wait
(Latimer/John McBurnie)
You're looking nervous at the dealer
Money goes like sand
Slipping through your hands
You're leaving everything behind you
Wave it all goodbye
I can hear you cry

Chorus :
  Wait - don't think about it
  Wait - it's never too late
  Wait - don't worry 'bout it
  Wait - leave it all to fate
  Wait

Oh no this game is like a nightmare
There can be no doubt
Luck has done me out
I'm only searching for the right time
Money on the line
I can hear you cry

Wait, wait, wait, wait

Chorus

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

(Latimer)
Crazy preachers of our doom
Telling us there is no room.
Not enough for all mankind
And the seas of time are running dry.
Don't they know it's a lie...

Chorus :
  Man is born with the will to survive,
  He'll not take no for an answer.
  He will get by, somehow he'll try,
  He won't take no, never let go, no...

I hear them talk about Kingdom Come,
I hear them discuss Armageddon...
They say the hour is getting late,
But I can still hear someone say,
That is not the way...

Chorus     (x2)

Never let go...
